Quinapril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Quinapril is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. Quinapril may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
The enlargement of the arteries elsewhere in the body also makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. This is particularly beneficial when there is heart failure. In the kidneys ACE inhibitors increase blood flow and reduce the filtration pressure in the kidneys. Quinapril was approved by the FDA in November 1991.
